NP - Winter Skills Course, Scotland

Just a short note to say a big thank you for your instruction on Saturday. We both enjoyed the day enormously and feel that it has given us a bit of extra confidence to venture further afield and appreciate more of the mountain ... we were also grateful for the company of a like-minded and proficient individual rather than the bearded eccentric." NP
TC - Snowshoeing Meribel

We want to thank you once more for giving us such a wonderful introduction into snow shoeing. Your thoughtfulness in selecting routes for beginners as well as your knowledge of the local environment enhanced our experience considerably. Your enthusiasm for the outdoor life and understanding of nature, trees. birds and plants made our holiday all the more memorable. We cannot forget the meal Pascal cooked at his Refuge,especially the special after lunch schnapps.
Duncan & Katy - Tour of the Vanoise

Back home after a great trip for which we must thank you once again ... a tremendous holiday and we will have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends.
Yuri from Moscow

We would like also to take the opportunity and recommend Mark Tennent as the guide for Via Ferrata. What distinguishes Mark is his warmth and "good aura"; he is very supportive and gives you a feeling of confidence what was especially important for the beginners like us (and me also with some height fear). We managed only simple routes (by the way, my father is 72 - so go ahead, guys!) but we hope to return and make more complicated the next time.
DW - Via Ferrata

Thanks so much Mark. They had a great time and the photos are so much better than mine where they look like dots!

Thanks very much for a challenging but really enjoyable afternoon. I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm sure it's something we'll do again." - Snowshoeing

Alex Wade

I retained Mark to guide my 12-year-old son and I on the Tour du Mt Blanc in late May/early June 2010. We were pre-season, meaning that we met with some adverse weather, but Mark was consistently excellent in problem-solving, navigation and finding lateral solutions to difficult situations. He is a personable, highly experienced mountain guide with a superb knowledge of the Savoie region especially. I would certainly retain Mark again for any similar undertakings. June 28, 2010

We just came back from ski vacation in Val Thorens. We had a free day on Friday ( you can get your apartment only on Saturday). We found in the internet Mark Tennent from Simply Savoie,
and he took us for snow shoeing walk. Everything was perfect, he met us on time, gave us the equipment, and took us to very beautiful place,' with fantastic views over the mountains.

Chris & Carol F - Vanoise

Dear Mark

Just to thank you for an excellent holiday and for your patience. We really enjoyed the chance to see so many different aspects of the area and to get to some of the cols and refuges: Chris is sorting through hundreds of photographs which will help us to remember it all. We also much appreciated the comfort and helpfulness of the hotel. Many thanks for all that you did for us.
Susan Fleming

I hired Mark as an instructor in Courchevel. He was courteous and professional and so interesting from the moment we met before the lesson even began. He weaves his knowledge of nature and the environment into the lesson giving a dimension that I had never experienced before.
I highly recommend Mark as an instructor extraordinare!”
